We finally got a new deck! It hasn't been stained yet. Not sure when that will happen but probably sometime when it's not as hot outside. Maybe the fall? I'm loving it though, and so is Lillian. She finally has a flat spot to play outside.

Wow, 2 blog posts in one week! You'd think I'm just sitting around on my couch waiting for my water to break or something... Oh that's right, I am.

Lillian has decided to go back to 2 naps a day which is A-OK with me. Momma needs a break, and a donut, and some coffee. And some peace and quiet. And to NOT be climbed all over thankyouverymuch. I love my girl and her rough housing but I'm huge and exhausted and just need a wee break in the day. We're still trying to keep our regularly scheduled activities of PT/OT/ST and trips to the pool and splash pad. It's not easy though.

So for a while Lillian had this really cute thing she would do. I would say "Lillian, say CHEESE" and she would give me this hilarious wide open mouth "smile". It was adorable. So adorable that I thought, this could turn into a great gift idea for Father's Day! A friend of mine posted a photo like this on Pinterest....

Super cute, right? I thought so.

"Hey Lillian, say CHEESE!"

"Lillian, please say CHEESE!"

"Lillian, this is a gift for Daddy. You love Daddy. He's your favorite. "CHEESE" please!"

We finally got around to finishing Lillian's new big girl room... only 2 months late. We were really hoping to move her in long before the little bambino showed up, but here I am 39 weeks pregnant and she still hasn't slept in there. She does play in there and all her clothes are in there, so I think she understands it's her room. I guess we're just going to wing it and hope for the best when she gets transferred to sleeping in there.

The words along the shelf and the bird mobile were made by moi (I have a brief tutorial for the words to post another time). Phil painted the "dresser" which was originally two extremely ugly poop brown night stands. He painted them white and painted the handles green - which I loooove! The bookshelf came from IKEA (I'm thinking about painting the backboard of it), and the mirror came from a consignment shop. She has a walk in closet, so there's plenty of space to store her cute little wardrobe. Everything else we had on hand!

Overall it's exactly what I was hoping for, something timeless, girly, and a bit sophisticated without being too grown up.
